Nicki Minaj Clarifies What Her Twitter Rant Was Really About

Last night, Twitter exploded over what seemed to be a Twitter feud brewing between Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift. It all started when Nicki took to Twitter and took MTV to task for not nominating her music video for "Anaconda" for a Video of the Year award. Nicki expressed that if her video had featured women with "slim bodies", she might have gotten a nomination. Seeing as how Taylor Swift is one of only two women nominated for the VOTY award, she read Nicki's tweet as a personal jab at her "Bad Blood" nomination, and tweeted the rapper asking why she should would pit women against each other.

Even though Nicki immediately responded saying that her tweet was in no way a jab at Taylor or any other woman (even adding that she loves the singer), some fans were still a little confused by what fueled Nicki's rant. So when Nicki returned to Twitter this afternoon, she took some time to retweet some articles that pinpointed exactly what she meant.

Taylor has yet to respond to the rapper's latest tweets, but it may be safe to say that all is well between Nicki and Taylor, seeing as there was never really a problem to begin with. Hopefully, Nicki and Taylor can put on a united front, and show everyone watching the 2015 VMAs that ALL girls run the world.
